Take your stinking paws off my Internet, you damned dirty UN!With all due apologies to Charlton Heston and the rest of the crew from the Planet of the Apes. Even when it's the good old USA against every other country on the planet, WE WIN! A U.N. working group, followed by governments including China, Saudi Arabia, Cuba and the 25-member European Union, had all proposed taking away control of the domain name "root zone file" from the United States and handing it off to a multinational agency. I wonder if the EU is upset about being lumped in with Cuba, China and Saudi Arabia, or is it the other way around? posted by Tanker at 10:34 PM
CommentsThe day the UN takes over the internet will be the last day of free speach in the internet. Posted by: Tom on November 16, 2005 10:45 PM
Hey Ace, You looking forward to rolling Robusto's in an Havana sweatshop for all the "not EU approved" swill you been slingin'? Well you'd better be...you'd better be. Posted by: sentinel on November 16, 2005 10:51 PM
Notice two of the countrys are big time communist dictatorships run by tyrants who keep their people living in ditches and eating rats and their still honorrary member on the UN why should we have anything more to do with the wretched UN? lets just kick the whole damn UN out of the country and move it to bejing Posted by: spurwing plover on November 16, 2005 10:55 PM
I may be drunk, but why not just move the Interweb servers to Antatica, Anterartica, Acrtica ... that cold place where they filmed "The Thing" ... and have the internet managed by the Science Guys there. ~ hic ~ Posted by: BumperStickerist on November 16, 2005 11:04 PM
They can have my root zone file when they pry it from my cold dead hard drive! Posted by: BrewFan on November 16, 2005 11:08 PM
We invented and nurtured it. You dictators and EU weenies now want to control it. Really, that's some gall. Bite me, losers! (And that's the cleaned up version) Bwaaahaahaa. Posted by: Lipstick on November 16, 2005 11:18 PM
As always for dictators, the trouble with freedom is, people use it. What pathetic assholes. Posted by: lauraw on November 17, 2005 12:32 AM
I agree with Tom, the end of free speach in more ways than one. How long do you think it would take for them to impose all sorts of new UN taxes and fees. Posted by: robert on November 17, 2005 12:50 AM
Internet creator Al Gore was disappointed by the news, saying, "Once again, America has bullied the International Community. If only Florida 2000 had gone my way..." Posted by: zetetic on November 17, 2005 08:26 AM
We really, really dodged a bullet here. Had the root A servers gone under the control of the UN, we would be looking at the fracturization of the DNS system in 5 years. US companies will not be rooked for their domain names, and Cisco (or Microsoft, or Google) would offer an alternative. Also, IPv6 would NEVER get rolled out, or it would get rolled out way, way too soon at the behest of China and Korea. Posted by: rho on November 17, 2005 09:01 AM
I've often wondered what the geeks would do faced with this sort of threat. You know, the hardline guys who actually built and run the whole internet thing. Bureaucrats, of course, have not the slightest idea how the big machine works, and think they can just push a few buttons and control it. The guys that man the levers tilt overwhelmingly libertarian. If not downright anarcho-dorkian. China's doing a surprisingly good job of letting it in but keeping a lid on it. So far. But I don't think the UN has any notion how big, wierd and complicated trying to put a saddle on this thing would be. And that was today's episode of Mixing Your Metaphors. Thenk yew. Posted by: S. Weasel on November 17, 2005 09:14 AM
I don't know what you're problem is, guys. All the UN would use it for is to spread democracy and free speech to the rest of the world. ... ... Yeah, I couldn't keep a straight face either when I typed that. Posted by: Xoxotl on November 17, 2005 05:23 PM

Stephen Miller: The courts are attempting to unconstitutionally enshrine open borders into law by imposing an "infinite process" on deportations.
They're too cowardly to admit what they're doing and just say, "We don't like the way they people voted and who they voted for, so we're deposing the president through a judicial coup." Instead, they're just making it so that we can have a nominal law that allows the deportations of foreign criminals and gang members, but we're also going to impose "due process" requirements that will guarantee all illegals a lifetime residency in the US.

George Clooney now looks like Bela Lugosi from Ed Wood
In this "interview," Jake Tapper claims that Clooney writing an op-ed at the instigation of Barack Obama was "brave," and Clooney returns the favor by telling Jake Tapper that "journalists" are brave and irreplaceable. It's the world's least enticing gay porn.
Prepare for a shock: Former (?) Handgun Control, Inc. spokesman Jake Tapper lies about the background of his hard-left political agitator guest, presenting him as merely an "FSU student" and allowing him to claim Republicans have blood on their hands for the recent school shooting
However, D'Onofrio isn't some dispassionate observer. He's not just some random FSU student. It doesn't sound like he was anywhere in the neighborhood of the shooting, either. He was brought on primarily to talk about the politics, but was presented as an FSU student to try and leverage sympathy for his position.
The Pope has died. [Weirddave]
The price of eggs has dropped from an average of $8/dozen to $3.13/dozen but Democrats are claiming Easter eggs prices are up. I guess all of the non- or anti-Christian "fact" checkers in the media are taking the day off, for some reason.
Trump offers Easter wishes
Happy Easter! BTW, I read that this is the first time in years the White House website has offered an Easter prayer. Every other religion and fake religion got promoted by Biden, but not Christianity. Oh, and NPR's Easter story is that "Trump seeks corporate sponsors for Easter egg roll." Obviously every president does this, but this communist propaganda organization only points it out now, after having denied the Biden's family influence-farming operations for a decade.
An idiot congressman tries to get us into a shooting war with Russia! Brian Fitzpatrick represents Pennsylvania... very, very poorly. [CBD]
Trump commented on the Biden Presidency: "Worst administration in our country's history. Jimmy Carter died a happy man. You know why? Because he wasn't the worst president, Joe Biden was."
